    Haye getting battered by Carl Thompson was probably the best thing that happened to him.

    Audley Harrison was forcing it.

    A perfect example of a fighter moved too quickly.

    How many times do I need to tell you Mike Jones has gone up to 154lbs.

    Brook has actually been matched really well by Hearn. People just don't like to realize that. Welterweight is also an elite division.

    I know its an elite division.Ive checked Mike Jones on Boxrec and it says he's a welterweight and his last fight was against Randall Bailey.Dont know how you know he's moved up to Lightmiddle.Also,for the record,you've told me that once.How many times did you have to be told who Gerry Adams was?
     
  5. Kell brook gets a lot of stick on this forum but I think he has been managed well as has George groves,Nathan cleverly,Ricky burns and lots of others that are accused of not aiming high enough
    All 4 want to be the best in their division and have took realistic steps towards that goal
    Tyson fury another mentioned has been perfectly stepped up English,British through to world level having had knock downs,tight points decisions and a variety of different styles

    Not every boxer has natural talent to be able to be fast tracked
    Most of our promoters get it right despite the critics

    He has said it in numerous interviews and I have told several times.

    One time. I am 26, my parents are not British, and I new who he was by face not by name.

    You've not told me more than once about Jones.For what its worth,Ive seen Adams in the flesh,more than once.I am not knocking Brook.Always said if K9 hadn't pulled out,he'd have probably won and already been a world champion,long before he went anywhere near Eddie Hearn.

    N'Dou - Former World Champion
    Jackiewicz - Former Undefeated European Champion, Lost a SD in a world title fight
    Galarza -Keep Busy fight
    Hatton - Former Undefeated European Champion, World title challanger, Big Domestic fight
    Jones - IBF Eliminator
    Saldivia - IBF Final Eliminator

    The only issue is Brook probably needs another fight in between Jones & Alexander.

    I think Diaz would be good but there are better fights no doubt.

    K9???

    What does you seeing Adams in the flesh have to do with me not immediately associating his name to who he is?

    Hearn has done a good job promoting Kell & selling tickets in Sheffield but he hasn't matched Kell well, too many easy fights for a guy in his prime & high in the rankings.

    Kell is in exactly the same position he was in when he left Frank 3 years ago & he still hasn't fought anyone near the level of Alexander.

    K9 Bundrage.They were supposed to fight a few years ago and Bundrage pulled out.Had Kell won,which I think he would,he would be farther on in his career than he is.Believe me, I want him to do well,and he has.
    Regarding your question,you must know that I am many years older than you,but the Adams comment was a reminder,and also a reaction to the rudeness of your first comment.I wasn't rude to you in the first place.
